LAMP-CHIMNEY HOLDER.

Patented May 12, laid.

Application filed September 8, 1913. Serial No. 788,688.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DANIEL W. BURGIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Garner, in the county of Parker and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Chimney Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to a lamp chimney holder and has for its object the production of a simple and efficient means for drawing in upon the chimney engaging arms whereby a small chimney may be accommodated without danger of the chimney falling from engagement with the arms.

Another object of this invention is the production of a lamp chimney holder which is provided with a screw adjusting means for reducing the space within the chimney retaining arms for allowing a small sized chimney to be accommodated when desired.

With these and other objects in view this invention consists of certain novel combinations, constructions and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the lamp chimney holder. Fig. 2 is a side elevation 01": the same. Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. a is a section taken on the line l-i of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a portion of the clamping band and the standard used in connection therewith. Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the screw adjusting means, a portion of the same being shown in section.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates the usual burner having the chimney retaining arms 2. In order to allow the arms to engage a small sized chimney when desired, the arms are provided with eliicient means for drawing upon the same so as to swing them inwardly for engaging the chimney. Each arm 2 is provided with a struck-out rib 3 adjacent its upper end whereby the clamping band 4 is supported. This clamping band 4: passes under the rib 3 so as to bear evenly upon each of the arms 2. When this band i is ally extending drawn together the arms 2 will be moved inwardly at their upper portions for engaging a lamp chimney. One end of the clamping band 4; is fixedly secured to the finger 5 of the standard 6. This standard 6 is connected to the finger 5 by means of an angularly extending eye 7. The lower portion of this standard is provided with a laterarm 8 terminating in a'rivetlip 9 which engages the base of the burner 1. Since the standard 6 is fixedly secured to the burner l and the clamping band 1 is fixedly secured to this standard, in order todrawthe end portion of the clamping band together, it will be necessary for the opposite end of the band i to be drawn toward the standard 6. The free end of the clamping band 4: is provided with a threaded rod 10, this rod 10 being provided with a bifurcated end 11 wherethrough passes a pivot member 12 for holding the threaded rod 10 with the free end of the clamping band 1. This threaded rod 10 passes through the eye 7 of the standard 6 and carries the nut 13 whereby by rotating the nut 13 upon the threaded rod 10, the free end of the clamping band 4: will be drawn toward the standard 6 and will in this manner cause the clamping band L to draw inwardly upon the arms 2 for moving the upper end of the arms inwardly.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that a simple and eliicient lamp chimney holder has been produced which is fixedly secured to the lamp burner thereby preventing the same from becoming lost, and which is provided with a simple means for allowing the adjustment of .the same.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is

A lamp chimney holder comprising a standard, said standard provided at its lower portion with an arm terminating in a rivet lip whereby said standard will be held in firm engagement with a burner, an angularly extending eye formed upon the upper portion of said standard terminating in an elongated finger, a clamping band fixedly secured at one end of said finger, said clamping band adapted to be positioned about a plurality said clamping band to bear inwardly upon the chimney retaining arms of a burner.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

DANIEL V. BURGIN.

of chimney retaining arms, a threaded arm pivotaiiy secured to the free end of said clamping baud, said threaded arm passing through said eye formed upnn said standard, and a nut positioned upon said threaded arm whereby when said nut is rotated the Vvitnesses: free end of said clamping band W111 be J. H. BAXTER, drawn toward said standard for causing C. H. HART.
